1IOM FUTURE OF NURSING REPORT SUMMARY
Description of work of Robert Wood Foundation Committee
The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) has been working with the Institute of
Medicine (IOM) since 2008 for a 2 years program of the transformation of the health care facility
in United States. It has been seen that the nursing profession of the country has been comprised
of 3 million members (Nationalacademies.org, 2020). However, the health care delivery of the
health care organizations has not been addressing the needs of the patients properly. Hence, the
transformation or the reformation of the health care facility has been considered with priority by
the RWJF (Nationalacademies.org, 2020). The organization has been appointed by the IOM for
recommending the action oriented blueprint for the future of nursing. On this context it can be
steed that the process of the transformation was focused on al sector of the nursing such as the
hospital, home cares, retail health clinics, schools, long term care facilities and community based
nursing. Hence, the transformation has been focused on the training and education programs for
the nurses and the practice based learning processes (Hassmiller & Reinhard, 2019). The
education programs have been conducted by the experienced or senior nurses for the junior or
nursing students. The reformation has been expected to improve the care procedures of the
nurses. The education program has been developed with various procedures developed by the
licensed senior nurses. The transformation process has been developed four basic messages or
the nurses in order to develop the effective care procedures. The four key messages have been
focused on the full extent of education and training, achievement of higher level of education and
training which promote effective learning, partnership with other health care partners and
effective workforce planning and policy development for the improved care providence. On this
context it can be stated that the RWJF developed an effective education procedure to ensure the
improvement of the care procedure of the nurses (Nationalacademies.org, 2020).

2IOM FUTURE OF NURSING REPORT SUMMARY
Outline of the four "Key Messages"
The key messages of the action oriented blueprint of the transformation have been seen to
be focusing on the knowledge development and the promotion of improved learning for the
development of the improved care procedures. On this context the first message focused on the
practice of the education to the full extent as most of the nurses in the country are classified as
the advance practice registered nurse and others are registered nurses. Thus, the change focused
on the skills development of the nurses to the full extent through the nursing schools to the
advance practice procedures (Nationalacademies.org, 2020). The second message states that the
promotion of the errorless academic progression by achieving high level of education and
training. This also focuses on the safe and patient centered care delivery. Thus, the education
system should be improved based on the complex patient requirements. Teamwork and
leadership competences should be developed through proper practice based training as well
(Nationalacademies.org, 2020). Third message put forward the idea of the partnership with the
professionals other than nurses such as physicians through reformation of the health care system.
Hence, the reformation of the education and the whole attitude of the health care system should
be reformed due to the need of the improvement of the care facility (Nationalacademies.org,
2020). Finally the fourth message focuses on the evidence based practice through the reformation
of the infrastructure of the information management. Thus, the fourth message focuses on the
planning, policy making and improved data management for the workforce and the care
procedure efficiency development (Nationalacademies.org, 2020). The four messages are
effectively focusing on the reformation of the health care system in every sector for the
improvement of the nursing facility and the care procedure itself (Altman et al., 2016).
